- the oil storage cavities can be adapted in their shape and in their volume to the available space and make maximum use of it. In this case, it is advisable to carry out this as a common part in the case of several oil storage cavities per cover in order to be able to produce appropriate quantities.

Description
Deckel mit Ölspeicherfunktionalität für ein Gehäuse eines elektrohydrauli- sehen Ventiltriebes eines Verbrennungsmotors Cover with oil storage functionality for a housing of an electro-hydraulic valve train of an internal combustion engine
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Deckel für ein Gehäuse eines elektrohydraulischen Ventiltriebes eines Verbrennungsmotors mit integrierter Ölspeicherfunktionali- tat gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 . The invention relates to a cover for a housing of an electro-hydraulic valve train of an internal combustion engine with integrated Ölspeicherfunktionali- act according to the preamble of claim 1.
Elektrohydraulische Ventiltriebe sind bereits seit längerer Zeit bekannt und beispielsweise in EP 0 446 065 A2, DE 3 834 882 A1 und EP 0 317 364 A1 beschrieben. Electrohydraulic valve trains have been known for some time and are described, for example, in EP 0 446 065 A2, DE 3 834 882 A1 and EP 0 317 364 A1.
Ein weiterer elektrohydraulischer Ventiltrieb ist das von FIAT entwickelte UniAir Prinzip, wie es beispielsweise aus der EP 0 803 642 A1 bekannt ist. Another electrohydraulic valve train is the UniAir principle developed by FIAT, as is known, for example, from EP 0 803 642 A1.
MultiAir ist eine Weiterentwicklung des UniAir-Systems. Es übernimmt die Ven- tilsteuerung auf der Einlass-Seite und macht so die entsprechende Nockenwelle überflüssig. Jeder Zylinder verfügt dabei über ein eigenes Hydrauliksystem mit einer separaten Hydraulikkammer. Eine zusätzliche Nocke an der Auslassnockenwelle übermittelt das Ventilspiel auf mechanischem Wege an das Muti- Air-System. Ist das elektronisch gesteuerte Magnetventil an der Hydraulikkam- mer geschlossen, ist kein Ölfluss möglich und die Hydraulikkammer verhält sich wie ein starres Bauteil. In diesem Fall verläuft das Ventilspiel vergleichbar einem konventionellen System. Ist hingegen das Magnetventil an der Hydraulikkammer geöffnet, sind Nocken und Ventile mechanisch voneinander getrennt. Die Einlassventile folgen nun nicht mehr dem Rhythmus der Nocken sondern schließen durch Federkraft. In diesem Fall steuert eine ausgefeilte Mechatronik über Magnetventile die Einlassventile abgestimmt auf die spezifische Fahrsituation. Damit wird die Luftzufuhr in die Zylinder optimal an die tatsächlichen Anforderungen angepasst, was insbesondere im Teillastbereich die Effizienz des Verbrennungsmotors nachhaltig steigert. Ein Steuergerät managt dabei die komplexe Mechatronik, wobei durch das Zusammenspiel von Mechanik und Elektronik in Sekundenbruchteilen die Ventilstellung angepasst wird. Allen diesen elektrohydraulischen Systemen ist gemein, dass möglichst keine Luft in den Hochdruckraum des Hydrauliksystems gelangen darf. Weiterhin ist ein Ölreservoir erforderlich, um vorgegebene Stillstandszeiten und Startprozeduren erfüllen zu können. Beim MultiAir-System ist das Ölreservoir als einteilige Haube mit tiefgezogenen Ölspeicherkavitäten gestaltet, die auf den Deckel des Motorgehäuses aufgeschraubt ist und mit einer Sickendichtung gegenüber dem Deckel abgedichtet ist. Der Deckel ist gegenüber dem MultiAir-Gehäuse mit einer Siebdruckdichtung abgedichtet und mit dem Gehäuse verschraubt. MultiAir is a further development of the UniAir system. It takes over the valve control on the intake side and thus makes the corresponding camshaft superfluous. Each cylinder has its own hydraulic system with a separate hydraulic chamber. An additional cam on the exhaust camshaft transfers the valve clearance mechanically to the Muti-Air system. If the electronically controlled solenoid valve on the hydraulic chamber is closed, no oil flow is possible and the hydraulic chamber behaves like a rigid component. In this case, the valve clearance is comparable to a conventional system. If, however, the solenoid valve is open at the hydraulic chamber, cams and valves are mechanically separated from each other. The intake valves no longer follow the rhythm of the cams but close by spring force. In this case, a sophisticated mechatronics via solenoid valves controls the intake valves tailored to the specific driving situation. Thus, the air supply in the cylinder is optimally adapted to the actual requirements, which in particular in the partial load range Efficiency of the internal combustion engine sustainably increases. A control unit manages the complex mechatronics, whereby the valve position is adjusted in fractions of a second by the interaction of mechanics and electronics. All these electro-hydraulic systems have in common that as possible no air may enter the high-pressure chamber of the hydraulic system. Furthermore, an oil reservoir is required to meet predetermined downtime and startup procedures can. In the MultiAir system, the oil reservoir is designed as a one-piece hood with deep-drawn oil storage cavities, which is screwed onto the cover of the motor housing and sealed with a bead seal against the lid. The lid is sealed to the MultiAir housing with a screen seal and bolted to the housing.
Aufgrund von Fertigungsvorgaben und begrenzter Umformgrade ist die volumenmäßig großzügige Gestaltung des OIreservoirs auf der Haube bei einer einteiligen Haube nicht oder kaum möglich. Der Fertigungs- und Montageaufwand ist relativ hoch. Due to production specifications and limited degrees of deformation, the voluminous design of the OI reservoir on the hood in a one-piece hood is not or hardly possible. The manufacturing and assembly costs are relatively high.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung kann darin gesehen werden, das Ölreservoir eines elektrohydraulischen Ventiltriebes in seiner Herstellung zu vereinfachen und die volumenmäßige Gestaltung zu optimieren. Die Aufgabe wird durch einen Deckel für ein Gehäuse eines elektrohydraulischen Ventiltriebes mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Ebenso wird als Problemlösung ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines solchen Deckels in Anspruch 10 angegeben. Ein Gehäuse eines elektrohydraulischen Ventiltriebes eines Verbrennungsmotors, nachfolgend MultiAir-Gehäuse genannt, wird durch einen Deckel verschlossen, auf dem erfindungsgemäß eine Ölspeicherkavität je Zylinder des Verbrennungsmotors direkt angeschlossen ist. Der Deckel schließt dabei den Mitteldruckraum des Gehäuses des Ventiltriebes ab und besitzt eine Blendenöffnung zum Ölspeicherreservoir, durch die während des Betriebes des Motors Luft entweichen kann. Dabei wird ständig auch Öl in das Ölspeicherreservoir transportiert, welches im Betriebszustand quasi immer mit Öl gefüllt ist. Wenn der Motor stillsteht und das Öl abkühlt und sich im Mitteldruckraum zusammenzieht, kann aus dem Ölspeicherreservoir aufgrund der Schwerkraft wieder Öl durch die Blendenöffnung in den Mitteldruckraum zurückfließen. The object of the invention can be seen in simplifying the oil reservoir of an electro-hydraulic valve drive in its production and to optimize the volume design. The object is achieved by a cover for a housing of an electro-hydraulic valve drive with the features of claim 1. Also provided as a problem solution, a method for producing such a lid in claim 10. A housing of an electrohydraulic valve drive of an internal combustion engine, hereinafter referred to as MultiAir housing, is closed by a cover, on which according to the invention an oil reservoir cavity per cylinder of the internal combustion engine is directly connected. The cover thereby closes off the medium-pressure space of the housing of the valve drive and has a diaphragm opening to the oil reservoir, through which air can escape during operation of the engine. In this case, oil is constantly transported into the oil reservoir, which is almost always filled in the operating condition with oil. When the engine stops and the oil cools and contracts in the medium pressure space, oil may flow back out of the oil reservoir through the orifice into the medium pressure space due to gravity.
Die Vorteile der Erfindung sind insbesondere darin zu sehen, dass zumindest eine Dichtung, die bisher zwischen dem Deckel und der einteiligen Haube erforderlich ist, entfallen kann. Weiterhin entfällt das Anschrauben und Dichten der Haube auf dem Deckel. Dies bedeutet ein deutliche Material- und Kosten- ersparnis sowohl bei der Herstellung, als auch bei der Montage der Ventilsteuereinrichtung. The advantages of the invention are to be seen in particular in that at least one seal, which has hitherto been required between the cover and the one-piece hood, can be dispensed with. Furthermore, eliminating the screwing and sealing of the hood on the lid. This means a significant material and cost savings both in the manufacture, as well as during assembly of the valve control device.
Ein weiterer Vorteil ist dadurch gegeben, dass je Motortyp und Platzangebot im Motorraum auf einfache Weise das Volumen der Ölspeicherkavitäten selbst für einzelne Zylinder variiert werden kann. Die Ölspeicherkavitäten können in ihrer Form und in ihrem Volumen dem zur Verfügung stehenden Bauraum angepasst werden und ihn maximal nutzen. Dabei bietet sich an, bei mehreren Ölspeicherkavitäten je Deckel diese als Gleichteil auszuführen, um entsprechende Stückzahlen fertigen zu können. Durch die Separierung wird der mögliche Um- formgrad erhöht, was der Formgebung und der möglichen Größe (Volumen) der Ölspeicherkavitäten zugutekommt. Another advantage is given by the fact that each engine type and space in the engine compartment in a simple way, the volume of the oil storage cavities can be varied even for individual cylinders. The oil storage cavities can be adapted in their shape and in their volume to the available space and make maximum use of it. In this case, it is advisable to carry out this as a common part in the case of several oil storage cavities per cover in order to be able to produce appropriate quantities. Due to the separation, the possible degree of deformation is increased, which benefits the shaping and the possible size (volume) of the oil storage cavities.
Vorzugsweise sind der Deckel und die Ölspeicherkavität aus Stahlblech hergestellt und miteinander verlötet. Dabei werden der Deckel und die darin benötig- ten Öffnungen aus einem Stahlblech gestanzt. Die Ölspeicherkavitäten werden vorzugsweise durch Tiefziehen eines Stahlbandes hergestellt, anschließend am Bund beschnitten und mittels Planschlag auf die geforderte Ebenheit gebracht. Das Fügen der Kavitäten am Deckel erfolgt beispielsweise mittels Löten im Durchlaufofen. Andere Fügetechnologien, wie beispielsweise Laserschweißen, Piasmatronschweißen oder dergleichen sind ebenfalls möglich, solange die Ebenheit des Deckels beim Fügeverfahren weitgehend erhalten bleibt bzw. nur ein minimaler Verzug des Deckels erfolgt. Die Ebenheit des Deckels ist bei bestimmten Dichtungskonzepten zum Gehäuse hin (z.B. mittels Sickendich- tung) definiert und muss entsprechend eingehalten werden. Preferably, the lid and the oil storage cavity are made of sheet steel and soldered together. The lid and the openings required are punched out of a steel sheet. The oil storage cavities are preferably produced by deep-drawing a steel strip, then trimmed at the federal government and brought to the required evenness by means of a flat lay. The joining of the cavities on the lid, for example, by means of soldering in a continuous furnace. Other joining technologies, such as laser welding, Piasmatronschweißen or the like are also possible, as long as the flatness of the lid during the joining process is largely retained or only a minimal distortion of the lid takes place. The flatness of the cover is defined for certain sealing concepts towards the housing (eg by means of a bead seal) and must be adhered to accordingly.
Es ist weiterhin möglich, den Deckel und/oder die Ölspeicherkavitäten aus einem den technischen Anforderungen genügenden Kunststoff oder einem ande- ren Werkstoff zu fertigen und entsprechend zu fügen. Der Fachmann kann dabei das geeignete Fertigungs- und Fügeverfahren (z. B. Thermoumformen, Kleben, Ultraschallschweißen oder andere) auswählen. It is furthermore possible to manufacture the lid and / or the oil storage cavities from a plastic or another material which satisfies the technical requirements and to add it accordingly. The person skilled in the art can select the suitable manufacturing and joining method (eg thermoforming, gluing, ultrasonic welding or others).
Der Deckel kann in an sich bekannter Weise Haltenasen z. Bsp. als Transport- Sicherung für Schlepphebel aufweisen. The lid can in a conventional manner retaining lugs z. Ex. As a transport backup for drag lever have.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist der Deckel im Bereich der Ölspeicherkavität eine Vertiefung auf, an deren tiefsten Punkt die Blendenöffnung vorgesehen ist. Die Vertiefung kann beispielsweise durch Prä- gen des Deckels hergestellt sein und ist vorzugsweise rinnen- oder trichterförmig. Diese Ausführungsform biete den Vorteil, dass auch bei ungünstigen Systempositionen (z.B. Schrägstellung des Kraftfahrzeuges) das gesamte Volumen der Ölspeicherkavität in den Mitteldruckraum des MultiAir-Gehäuses zurück fließen kann. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the lid in the region of the oil storage cavity on a recess at the lowest point of the aperture is provided. The depression can be produced, for example, by embossing the lid and is preferably funnel-shaped or funnel-shaped. This embodiment offers the advantage that, even in the case of unfavorable system positions (for example, tilting of the motor vehicle), the entire volume of the oil storage cavity can flow back into the medium-pressure space of the MultiAir housing.
In an sich bekannter Weise besitzt die Ölspeicherkavität an ihrer Oberseite ein Entlüftungsloch. Dieses kann vor oder nach der Formgebung der Kavität in das Material eingebracht werden. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform, bei der Deckel und Ölspeicherkavität aus Stahl bestehen, lässt sich durch folgende Verfahrensschritte herstellen: - Stanzen des Deckels aus einem Stahlblech; In known manner, the oil storage cavity has a vent hole at its top. This can be introduced into the material before or after the shaping of the cavity. A particularly advantageous embodiment in which the cover and oil storage cavity consist of steel can be produced by the following method steps: - punching the lid of a steel sheet;
- Prägen von Durchsetzungen auf dem Stahlblech; - embossing of enforcements on the steel sheet;
- Herstellen mindestens einer Blendenöffnung je Ölspeicherkavität im Deckel; - Make at least one aperture per oil storage cavity in the lid;
- Tiefziehen von einzelnen Ölspeicherkavitäten aus einem Stahlband; Deep drawing of individual oil storage cavities from a steel strip;
- Herstellen eines Entlüftungsloches in den Ölspeicherkavitäten; - making a vent hole in the oil storage cavities;
- Vereinzeln der Ölspeicherkavitäten; - separating the oil storage cavities;
- Benetzen der Ölspeicherkavitäten mit einer Lötpaste an deren Rand; - Wetting the oil storage cavities with a solder paste at the edge;
- Aufsetzen des Randes der Ölspeicherkavitäten auf Halteabschnitte des Deckels; - placing the edge of the oil storage cavities on holding portions of the lid;
- Fügen der Ölspeicherkavitäten auf dem Deckel durch Löten in einem Durchlaufofen. - Add the oil storage cavities on the lid by soldering in a continuous furnace.
Die Reihenfolge der Verfahrensschritte kann dabei selbstverständlich an die technologischen Erfordernisse angepasst werden. Gegebenenfalls können auch Zwischenschritte eingefügt werden, wenn dies erforderlich ist. Selbstverständlich kann der Fachmann das Verfahren an die zu verwendenden Materialien für den Deckel und die Ölspeicherkavitäten anpassen. Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Figuren näher erläutert. The sequence of the process steps can of course be adapted to the technological requirements. If appropriate, intermediate steps may also be inserted, if necessary. Of course, those skilled in the art can adapt the process to the materials to be used for the lid and the oil storage cavities.

Die Ölspeicherkavitäten 02 weisen auf ihrer Oberseite jeweils eine Entlüftungsöffnung 07 auf. Two apertures 04 are inserted into the cover 01 in the region of the oil storage cavity 02. The apertures 04 are used in the operation of the engine, the ventilation of the medium-pressure chamber of the MuliAir housing, not shown, and when the engine is stopped, they allow a backflow of the oil from the Ölspeicherkavität 02 in the MultiAir housing. The number of apertures may vary. The cover 01 has, in a manner known per se, retaining lugs 06, which serve as transport safeguards for drag levers for actuating a pump of the electric-hydraulic valve drive through the cam. The oil storage cavities 02 each have on their upper side a vent opening 07.
Der Deckel 01 weist mehrere Bohrungen 08 auf, die dazu dienen, den Deckel auf dem MultiAir-Gehäuse vorzugsweise durch Schrauben zu befestigen. The lid 01 has a plurality of bores 08, which serve to fasten the lid on the MultiAir housing, preferably by screws.
Anhand der Figuren 3 und 4 wird nun ein bevorzugtes Herstellungsverfahren für den erfindungsgemäßen Deckel beschrieben. Fig. 3 zeigt einen Schnitt entlang der Schnittlinie A-A in Fig. 2; Fig. 4 zeigt einen Schnitt entlang der Schnittlinie B-B in Fig. 2. With reference to Figures 3 and 4, a preferred manufacturing method for the lid according to the invention will now be described. Fig. 3 shows a section along the section line A-A in Fig. 2; 4 shows a section along the section line B-B in FIG. 2.
Die Ölspeicherkavität 02 wird zunächst oberhalb des Deckels 01 so angeordnet, dass die Blendenöffnungen 04 und die Durchsetzungen 03 sich unterhalb der Grundfläche der Ölspeicherkavität 02 befinden. Dann wird die zunächst an einem Bund 1 1 mit Lotpaste oder dergleichen vorbehandelte Ölspeicherkavität 02 auf den Deckel 01 aufgesetzt, wie es durch den Pfeil 12 angedeutet ist. Die Ölspeicherkavität 02 wird bis zum endgültigen Fügen durch ein Lot 13 mittels der Durchsetzungen 03 in Position gehalten. Der Fügevorgang selbst kann durch Löten in einem Durchlaufofen erfolgen. Fig. 5 zeigt eine abgewandelte Ausführungsform der Erfindung, bei der im Deckel 01 im Bereich der Ölspeicherkavität 02 eine Vertiefung 14, beispielsweise durch Prägen erzeugt wurde. Die Vertiefung 14 ist vorzugsweise trichterförmig ausgebildet. Am tiefsten Punkt der Vertiefung 14 ist die mindestens eine Entlüftungsblende 06 angeordnet. So ist sichergestellt, dass auch in ungünstigen Lagen des Motors nahezu das gesamte Öl aus der Ölspeicherkavität 02 selbsttätig in das Gehäuse zurück laufen kann. Bezugszeichenliste The oil storage cavity 02 is initially positioned above the lid 01 so that the apertures 04 and the openings 03 are located below the base of the oil storage cavity 02. Then, the first pretreated to a collar 1 1 with solder paste or the like Ölspeicherkavität 02 is placed on the lid 01, as indicated by the arrow 12. The oil storage cavity 02 is held in position until final joining by a solder 13 by means of the passages 03. The joining process itself can be done by soldering in a continuous furnace. Fig. 5 shows a modified embodiment of the invention, in which a recess 14, for example, was produced by embossing in the lid 01 in the region of the oil storage cavity 02. The recess 14 is preferably funnel-shaped. At the lowest point of the recess 14, the at least one vent plate 06 is arranged. This ensures that even in unfavorable positions of the engine almost all the oil from the oil storage cavity 02 can automatically run back into the housing. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
